"Indians do not get tired to listen to the story of Ram in ashrams or to watch it in village plays. When in the 1980s the Ramayana was shown on TV every Sunday morning over a couple of years, the streets were as empty as otherwise only during curfew or a world cup cricket match between India and Pakistan. Even the flights on Sunday morning had fewer passengers as usual."
